This is definitely one of those days that I thought would never come and yet here we are; sitting in a big room listening to a digital voice say, "Now serving..." I must say putting your child in a car and letting them have control is one of the most anxiety-filled experience's I've had. Because of my high anxiety, I was promptly excused (banned) from driving with Josh by Chad. I was happy to oblige. Chad did a great job teaching Josh and he is a great driver! While Chad did all the work teaching him, I got to do the fun part...taking him to the DMV to make it official. Things have really changed since my day. Gone are the days taking the written test and road test with some strange person at the DMV. Josh did all that with his driver's ed teacher at the school. He was then given the approval and we only had to go to the DMV to make it official with the eye test and photo. Another change since my day that I am grateful for is that he cannot drive with friends in the car for the first six months (just family). Oh and yes, I love having a willing driving assistant to help me get the kids places...I wonder how long that will last.
